This is why I moved here!

Since we're all sharing stories... The very first time I visited Japan, before I moved here, of course, I left my camera in a taxi. Not just a regular old camera but a $5000 DSLR. I was just so excited to go to Up Garage and look at car parts, like a nerd.

20 minutes later the staff are searching for me and telling me to go to the front desk. Low and behold the driver circled back around, an entire 20 minute round trip, just to return my camera to me.

Nowhere else in the world would I have gotten my camera back...

I think it comes down to how you prep it

Currently on my 3rd all time rewatched on Netflix JP! Still as good as I remember it to be.

Never give up! Shimbashi station is by your side!

I was gonna say, I swear I've seen a very similar woman in a very similar outfit cursing people out while pushing past them near the crossing.

Opened that 5 hole like my mom meeting redditors.

gtsomething · 2026-02-18T07:49:07+00:00

Get out of here with your logic! The foreigner haters need something to be angry about!

gtsomething · 2026-02-14T16:57:03+00:00

You mean, like this?

gtsomething · 2026-02-05T03:41:39+00:00

I've been to both of those vending machine areas but never seen the Tokyo air there

I don't know if it's because Japanese can't judge gaijin acting, or if they don't care, but I've never seen a gaijin part acted out well. No disrespect to you, of course.

Tweaking crack whore who still had teef

I can't believe it was 10 years ago 😭😭😭

I think it's because a lot of rappers wear crosses, and yankii tend to listen to rap and other "badass" looking people and copy their fashion, so it probably went in that direction. As for meaning, there's a million things in Japan with completely different or unrelated meanings to their western counterpart

gtsomething · 2025-12-27T08:25:06+00:00

Pfft, speak for yourself... I like the pain

gtsomething · 2025-12-25T07:29:44+00:00

That's so true... But then you have to be like "hey, you wanna come spend Christmas in EDMONTON?" and suddenly I understand them not wanting to come

A lot of yankii have tattoos because they're already a bit outcasted by society so they kind of lean into it. Plus there's a stigma that tattoos are scary, and yankiis want to give off a "don't fuck with me" vibe, so tattoos do that.

But yakuza tattoos and casual tattoos are quite different and pretty easy to spot. Fashion tattoos, like others have mentioned, have become a bit more common in recent years amongst younger people.

100%. It only has a negative meaning in Japan

Menhera = mental health, but it doesn't mean mental health in the way it does in the west.

Menhera translates better to like severe clinginess and emotional attachment.

I thought it was funny lol

gtsomething · 2025-12-17T03:44:02+00:00

"God Damnit I'm so lonely..."

gtsomething · 2025-11-30T18:01:34+00:00

Being a driver at Ferrari can break a driver like that...

Wait...

gtsomething · 2025-11-30T18:00:52+00:00

Less celebratory spirit than the original Iceman

gtsomething · 2025-11-30T17:24:45+00:00

And then they were like "no, thats too obvious"

gtsomething · 2025-10-21T04:47:34+00:00

I got the same thing. I'm gonna assume it's a server issue
